### 3.11. The QUIT command

#### 3.11.1. QUIT

       QUIT

The server process acknowledges the QUIT command and then closes the connection to the client. This is the preferred method for a client to indicate that it has finished all its transactions with the NNTP server.

If a client simply disconnects (or the connection times out, or some other fault occurs), the server should gracefully cease its attempts to service the client.

#### 3.11.2. Responses

       205 closing connection - goodbye!
